The sign kinda of says it all although I’m not sure exactly how you would approach it…umm, Paul, why don’t we try something new today? You’ve had that haircut for a while now..oh, what is it…40 odd years or so..maybe its time for a change? A whole new look..whadya say? I wondered how many hairdressers Paul Weller had fired directly after those very words. He will undoubtedly be buried with this fairly ridiculous haircut but there’s clearly no telling the man.

On another note he might possibly seek out an injunction against me as I keep taking photographs of him in his day to day life. Truth is I’m not hounding the man, he is actually a massive musical hero of mine, I just keep running into him as I guess he must live local to me (myldn-171). One day I might pluck up the courage to speak to him and if i was feeling really ballsy I guess I would have to say…Paul, lose the doo man, its time to move on.

In all my years of travelling on the tube I don’t think I have ever seen anyone sit down on the escalator. She didn’t look tired. She wasn’t old or overweight. It wasn’t even a particularly long escalator. I guess she just felt the need. She seemed lost in her own world yet at east in her surroundings. It puzzled me I have to say.

#MYMAN (01)

Me and my camera in someone else’s town…

I went to Manchester at the weekend and was struck by how bold and outlandish people’s outfits were and how no-one batted an eyelid..it seemed like a true celebration of the individual in a city where no-one seemed to give a shit. Wear what you want, be who you are. It did get a bit confusing as there were a lot of people dressed up for stag and hen doos and there was also a comic con in town so it was kinda difficult to tell the difference between the fancy dressers and just the fancily dressed. Whatever they were no-one cared and this laid back laissez faire attitude permeated the whole city and was all the better for it…I hope to have an excuse to return to it soon…

I don’t know what the coralation (sorry couldn’t resist) between the weird onesie hanging up on the scaffolding and the big guy with the tats is but they seem strangely connected…

If I send text, she wins, I lose. If I don’t I lose her. If only women were simple like ice-cream. Ice-cream does not care what I say, does not make me feel bad. Ice-cream make me feel good..maybe I live with ice-cream instead…

At some earlier moment his hands must have aided the consumption of his cappuccino but they now shielded him, hovering around his face. His guard was up, his pudgy fists clenched in defence. He looked like he was still fighting a battle that had long since past…
